Very slow PC and Wireless disconnecting

Sorry guys, a little confused, do I need to delete a driver first then re-install from the website, if so which of the three options do I delete?

thanks

 

Hi again, I downloaded the driver to my C: and ran the exe file but it doesn't get past the loading screen - it freezes and I have to close it via task manager.

I also thought I could try installing the driver in safe mode, but safe mode is not firing up Windows properly. When I select safe mode it lists the system32/drivers and stops, it goes no further despite me leaving it for 10 minutes.

Do you think there's a problem with the wireless driver or something else?

 

Hi Pete, when I try to disable/repair the wireless device it shows the disabling screen and freezes.

If I close with task manager and try to enable it again it says it can't connect. I also can't reboot the machine because it fails to shut down and launch again, the only thing to do is to shut down the machine completely, or sometimes I have to hold down the power button. :s

 

OK, why dont you try connecting wirelessly with a different wireless network card installed, perhaps from your other PC to eliminate it being a hardware issue with your current network card.

If it is fine, you know that there is a problem with your current one.

 

Oh yes, apologies. I think your right, although I think its strongly something to do with the drivers as you haven't been able to re-install any other drivers.

I would try using a PCMCIA wireless card first to eliminate it being hardware before biting the bullet, unless you have a ghost image of your system stored somewhere.
